LED Rope Lights?
Does anybody have any info or suggestions on LED rope lights? (Personally, I like them. I like the way the whole place is lit up.) I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to get them or what kind to get? There are also 3/8" and 1/2". It seems the 1/2" use more watts per foot. OH, and by the way, I seen some definite difference in watts per foot and price per foot out there. (not sure if they are relative or not)
Any suggestions on where to find/get them is greatly appreciated!!
Getting illuminated,
David Ball

I would go with a commercial brand if you are installing them in a place that would make it hard to replace later since the cheapos don't last that long. and 3/8" is all you need. I also want to point out for those folks not familiar with rope lighting, that not all rope lighting is LED. Some of the cheaper stuff is incandescent so make sure you know what your buying and double check once received.

It's even easier to conceal the newer strip lighting since its so flat. I will take some pictures of mine to share.

Pay attention to what Joseph is saying. I have been there and bought junk. Same goes with LED's there are a couple of manufactures here in the states that manufacturer the actuall LED's for others to build lighting with.
